         This picture was taken in the late 40's or early 50's on the show platform. The gentleman standing behind the Walker fox hound with
the number painted on the animal is my dad, Ralph Roy Dry. The dog's name was Joe Boy. The gentleman standing to my dad's right (the one with the cap) is Calhoun Perkins and behind my dad with the suit and hat on is Hinkle Shillings (one of the judges), one of the best known hound breeder in the history of fox hunting. I don't know who the other men are.   By the way, my dad won 1st place in show that year with Joe Boy even though he had mistakenly had the number painted on for the hunt that was to take place later. My dad enjoyed trading, buying, and selling fox hounds with Mr. Perkins, and Mr. Shillings during those years with each one thinking they got the best of the other. If anyone could identify the other gentlemen. add1942@hotmail.com
